Spinning in Lithuania

Wow!

To my surprise a friend handed me the spin-off magazine yesterday and as I was looking threw it, there is was an artical on Spinning in Lithuania. What a wounderful story about the history of spinning in lithuania.

And the dates is set for the Southern Animal Fiber Fair, Frances and I will be heading to the show in Oct. I still half to look and see what classes I would like to take, but I'm sure I would want to take them all, being new to all this. The Web site to this event saffsite.org if any one else is interested.

My First Entry (My Spinning Wheel)

I have never blogged before, but would like to give it a try. I love to do crafts and most of then are the old way of doing things.
I recently ordered a spinning wheel form Lithuanian, it was made during WWII when all most every home had one.
Well it arrived, broken. I guess it didn't like it's flight to the USA.
But the man I got the wheel from is sending me new parts. Hope they make it and fit.
I took the broken parts the other day and got me some wood glue and fixed them the best I could. My husband had to bend the shaft back in place for me, but all in all it worked.

So I'm up and spinning

Still waiting on the unbroken part, hoping it will make the spinning better, my luck it just me and I have allot to learn.
